C-section and CoolSculpting

The scar from your surgery matures and becomes stronger over more than a year from surgery. Before this time it would be ready for Zeltiq CoolSculpting but you should check with your surgeon to be sure that there were no complications from the C-section. Usually waiting six months should be a safe period unless there are features of the scar that are worrisome to you or your doctor. Some patients might be able to have it done sooner. see video

Post Partum and Zeltiq

Your body goes through many changes post partum. It is important that you wait at least 4 to 6 months before having Zeltiq ot any other cosmetic treatments.

CoolSculpting after C-section

Thank you for your question. Ideally, after a c-section, you allow your body to heal and lose your baby weight prior to considering any procedure (average 4-6 months). Coolsculpting works best when you are close to your ideal weight. Best Wishes! see video

Coolsculpting after C section

There is a relative contraindication for coolsculpting and history of surgery in area of potential coolsculpting. Thus, I would wait at least 6 months and discuss your case and be evaluated with a Coolsculpting physician. YOu may or may not be a candidate.
